Lab
manager Magazine has a feature on the safety aspects of ethylene oxide gas
(EtO), as used as a sterilizing agent.
Here
is an extract:
“EtO
is usually delivered as a gas or in a small capsule of liquid that is opened
and allowed to vaporize for each batch run. Sounds simple. But ethylene oxide
at normal room temperatures is a colorless, highly flammable, toxic gas, and
improper or careless use can cause serious problems. We will now take a closer
look at the hazards of EtO and how to safely use this common sterilizing
agent.”
